Taking insurance back to what it should be

We sat down with Co-Founder, Harry Franks to hear his views on disrupting the traditional insurance industry, building a world class team and empowering gig economy workers to do more.

Founded in 2016 Zego set out re-invent commercial insurance for self-employed people. They started with an hourly policy for scooter drivers which meant that drivers no longer had to pay for insurance they didn’t need. Instead they could get flexible cover for the hours they worked. Zego has since launched plenty more products – all designed to enable gig economy workers make insurance work for them.

#RVoSu – Zego, Harry Franks

“One of Zego’s values is that if it’s important then it’s important enough to be challenged. That’s something that I think has helped us a huge amount over the last couple of years, just constantly challenging, iterating it and striving to be the best”.
